Bellport Bathtub Replacement Services
What Your Life Looks Like After
You walk into your shower without that awkward step-over. No more worrying about slipping on wet tub edges or struggling to clean soap scum from corners you can barely reach.
Your new shower fits exactly where your old bathtub sat. Same plumbing connections, same space, but now it’s actually designed for how you really use your bathroom. The glass stays cleaner longer, and when it does need cleaning, it takes minutes instead of the weekend scrubbing session your old tub demanded.
Most of our Bellport customers tell us the same thing: they wish they’d done this bathtub replacement years ago. The safety difference alone makes it worth it, but the daily convenience is what really changes everything.
Long Island Shower Installation Experts
Twenty Years Of Getting It Right
We’ve been serving Long Island families since the early 2000s. We’ve completed over 10,000 installations from our same Copiague location, working with everyone from first-time homeowners to luxury developers.
What sets us apart isn’t just experience—it’s how we handle the tricky jobs other companies walk away from. Awkward plumbing placement, unusual dimensions, challenging access points. We’ve seen it all in Long Island homes, especially the older ones here in Bellport, NY where every house has its quirks.
We’re the glass company that local contractors call when they need someone who can figure out the impossible installs. That same problem-solving approach means your bathtub remodel gets done right the first time, on schedule, without the runaround.
Bellport Tub To Shower Process
From Bathtub To Shower In Two Weeks
We start with precise measurements of your existing space. This isn’t a quick look-and-guess situation. We map out every detail: plumbing locations, wall conditions, access points, and any structural considerations specific to your Bellport home.
Next comes the design phase. We show you exactly what your new shower will look like and how it’ll function. Glass options, hardware choices, accessibility features—everything gets decided before we order materials. No surprises, no change orders, no “we’ll figure it out when we get there.”
Installation typically happens within two weeks of your initial call. We remove your old tub, make any necessary plumbing adjustments, and install your custom shower system. Most tub to shower conversions are completed in a single day, and we clean up completely before we leave. You’re using your new shower that same evening.

Custom Glass Shower Solutions Bellport
What's Included In Your Conversion
Your tub to shower conversion includes complete removal of your existing bathtub, professional plumbing modifications, and installation of a custom glass shower system designed specifically for your space. We handle all the details: permits if needed, debris removal, and final cleanup.
The glass itself is custom-cut to fit your exact dimensions. We’re not installing pre-fab units that almost fit—every piece is measured and manufactured for your specific bathroom. Hardware options include different finishes and styles to match your existing fixtures or create the new look you want.
For Bellport, NY homeowners, we often recommend accessibility features like grab bars, built-in seating, or low-threshold entry. These additions don’t cost much now but can save thousands later if mobility becomes a concern. Many of our customers add these features even when they don’t immediately need them, just for the peace of mind and future-proofing.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take in Bellport?
Most bathtub to shower conversions are completed in a single day once materials arrive. From your initial call to using your new shower typically takes about two weeks total.
The timeline breaks down like this: consultation and measuring (day 1), design finalization and ordering (2-3 days), manufacturing time (7-10 days), then installation (1 day). We’ve streamlined this process over twenty years of Long Island installations.
Weather can occasionally affect timing, especially during winter months, but we communicate any delays immediately. Most Bellport customers are surprised how quickly the actual work happens compared to other home improvement projects they’ve done.
Will a shower conversion work with my existing plumbing?
Yes, in almost every case. Tub to shower conversions use the same water supply lines and drain location as your existing bathtub.
We may need to relocate the shower valve to a more convenient height, but this is standard work that doesn’t require major plumbing changes. The drain typically stays in the same location, though we’ll upgrade it to handle the different water flow pattern of a shower.
Older Bellport, NY homes sometimes have quirky plumbing configurations, but that’s exactly the type of challenge we’ve been solving for two decades. We’ll identify any special requirements during the initial measurement and factor them into your timeline and pricing.
What happens to the space where my bathtub was?
Your new shower fills the exact same footprint as your old bathtub. We’re not changing your bathroom layout—we’re upgrading what’s already there.
The shower base sits where your tub bottom was, and the glass enclosure uses the same three walls. You end up with more usable space inside the shower area compared to trying to shower in a bathtub, plus easier access and better water containment.
Some customers choose to add built-in storage niches or seating during the bathroom tub to shower conversion since we’re already working on the walls. These additions integrate seamlessly and take advantage of the construction process already happening.
How much does tub to shower conversion cost?
Conversion costs depend on the specific glass configuration, hardware choices, and any accessibility features you add. We provide detailed written estimates after measuring your space.
Most Bellport conversions fall within a predictable range, but every job has unique factors: the condition of existing walls, plumbing modifications needed, glass size and complexity, and hardware selection. We price everything upfront so you know exactly what you’re investing.
Financing options are available, and many customers find the conversion pays for itself in reduced cleaning time and increased safety. We’ll discuss all costs during your free consultation, including any optional upgrades you might want to consider.
Can you make my shower accessible for aging in place?
Absolutely. We install accessibility features regularly and recommend considering them even if you don’t need them immediately.
Common accessibility upgrades include grab bars positioned for safe entry and exit, built-in shower seating, hand-held shower heads with adjustable height, and low or zero-threshold entry. These features integrate into the design so they look intentional, not like medical equipment.
Many Bellport, NY customers add these features as a precaution for future needs or visiting family members. The cost is minimal when done during the tub replacement, but retrofitting later requires additional work and expense.
Do you handle permits and inspections for shower conversions?
We handle all necessary permits and coordinate inspections when required. Most tub to shower conversions don’t require permits, but we’ll determine this during your consultation.
When permits are needed, we submit all paperwork and schedule required inspections. This is part of our service—you don’t need to navigate the permit process yourself or worry about compliance issues.
Our twenty years of working in Long Island means we know local requirements and have established relationships with municipal offices. We’ll take care of the administrative details so you can focus on enjoying your new shower.
